Re: Diagramming help

You could argue that your sentence is incomplete. That it is not an independent clause because of the "For..." I would diagram it as if there were an understood independent clause before it, and bring the "for" down on a slanted line to the simple predicate as if it were the word "because", a subordinating conjunction introducing an adverbial clause.
